宇宙学的氢膨胀:共振和电子散射的影响

Cosmological Hydrogen Recombination: influence of resonance and electron scattering

J. Chluba, R. A. Sunyaev

摘要:

本文考虑了共振和电子散射对宇宙学氢复合过程中莱曼α光子逃逸的影响。我们特别注意原子反冲,多普勒提升和多普勒展宽的影响,使用Fokker-Planck近似的再分配函数描述光子的散射运动的氢原子的莱曼α共振。我们扩展了我们最近关于3d/3s-1 s双光子通道对氢复合动力学的影响的论文的计算,同时包括了问题的全部时间依赖性,热力学修正因子,导致发射和吸收轮廓之间的频率依赖性不对称性,以及与3d/3s-1 s发射和吸收过程的双光子性质有关的量子力学修正对莱曼α发射轮廓的精确形状的影响。我们发现,由于光子在频率上的重新分布,在z~900处,氢的复合速度加快了DN_e/N_e~-0.6%。对于CMB温度和偏振功率谱,这导致|DC_l/C_l|在l >~ 1500时约为0.5%-1%,因此对于未来在普朗克测量员、SPT和ACT背景下分析CMB数据将是重要的。原子反冲效应(在z~900处DN_e/N_e~-1.2%)是对这种修正的主要贡献,而多普勒增强和多普勒展宽部分抵消了这种修正,使氢复合速率在z~900处再次减慢了DN_e/N_e~0.6%。在z~1100处,汤姆逊可见度函数的最大值附近的电子散射的影响可以忽略不计。(节略)

英文摘要:

In this paper we consider the effects of resonance and electron scattering on the escape of Lyman alpha photons during cosmological hydrogen recombination. We pay particular attention to the influence of atomic recoil, Doppler boosting and Doppler broadening using a Fokker-Planck approximation of the redistribution function describing the scattering of photons on the Lyman alpha resonance of moving hydrogen atoms. We extend the computations of our recent paper on the influence of the 3d/3s-1s two-photon channels on the dynamics of hydrogen recombination, simultaneously including the full time-dependence of the problem, the thermodynamic corrections factor, leading to a frequency-dependent asymmetry between the emission and absorption profile, and the quantum-mechanical corrections related to the two-photon nature of the 3d/3s-1s emission and absorption process on the exact shape of the Lyman alpha emission profile. We show here that due to the redistribution of photons over frequency hydrogen recombination is sped up by DN_e/N_e~-0.6% at z~900. For the CMB temperature and polarization power spectra this results in |DC_l/C_l|~0.5%-1% at l >~ 1500, and therefore will be important for the analysis of future CMB data in the context of the PLANCK Surveyor, SPT and ACT. The main contribution to this correction is coming from the atomic recoil effect (DN_e/N_e~-1.2% at z~900), while Doppler boosting and Doppler broadening partially cancel this correction, again slowing hydrogen recombination down by DN_e/N_e~0.6% at z~900. The influence of electron scattering close to the maximum of the Thomson visibility function at z~1100 can be neglected. (abridged)
